Train

Another train down the tracks
I watch it pass by
Another day without you here
It passes us by
I don’t believe this is the best you can do
I just can't help it I still believe in you

I see the sun sinking low
This day's at an end
Another night moving in
I'm still on the mend
I don't believe you just want to let it go
I just can't help it if I still believe in you so
I just can't help it if I still believe in you so

If you could see you through my eyes
You'd see what I'm seeing in you
You're the sun in the morning
The moon late at night
The only star that's ever been bright

Another night
Can't sleep again
Just walking the floor
Silent night and I think I hear
A sound at my door

Could that be you or just something that I'm wishing for?

I just can't help it if I'll never let you go.

 
Song #2

Last Night

Last night, you took me where
I've never been before
If you leave now
I'd search my life away to find you once more

If you see me like I see you
How can we ever lose?
Where you go and who you're with is up to you to choose

It isn't everyday we find someone
It isn't everyday we find someone
To believe in.....to believe in

Last night, you touched me
Like I've never been before
And if you leave now, I'll search my life away
And find you once more

If you see me like I see you
How can we ever lose?
Where you go and who you're with is up to you to choose

It isn't everyday you find someone
It isn't everyday you find someone
To believe in

I usually post acoustic guitar noises and accompanying annoying vocals, but this was one of the rare times that I added a bit of electric SG guitar noise on top of the acoustic guitars. And it's about as close to actually "shredding" a guitar as I would ever get at the end of the song.

 
Song #3

Faith And Dreams

Have you ever had a dream with no meaning or a meaning you could find?
Have you ever had a dream escape defining, no matter how you tried?
Have you ever had a dream with no ending?
Woke up, made one up to be satisfied?

Rarely do dreams come true
Barely ring the truth
Dreams are just fantasies
Dreams are within and only within your mind.

Have you ever had a prayer gone unanswered?
Have you ever had your Faith being questioned?
Have you ever had doubt believing in what you cannot see?
Make up, think up an answer of your own.

Rarely are Faiths fulfilled.
Rarely less do Dreams come true.
Move on
Realize
Your Faith lives within and your dreams live withi your mind.

I've been thinking about years passed by.
I've been thinking about tears I've cried.
I've been thinking about Loves gone by.
I've been thinking about Faith that has died.
I've been thinking about dreams that have died.


This is the first time that I've used Soundcloud to post a tune. Does it sound OK or does it sound "squashed"? It sounds like crap on my cell phone speaker, but it sounds a bit better when I listen to it with my Samsuear buds.

Lol! I couldn't come up with a guitar solo. I went with a bass solo.

Rocky Raccoon

A couple of months after the wife ran off, leaving me and 3 daughters behind her, I was sitting there all by my lonesome in my bedroom noodling on my guitar. All of sudden, my daughters burst into my bedroom saying, "Hey Dad, let's record a song together." I said, "Okay, what song do you have in mind? They said, "Rocky Raccoon, you know, that Beatle song about a woman running off with another guy." It was then, at that exact moment, that I discovered that in spite of the circumstances, my girls would be ok.
Anyhoo, we recorded this to a Radio Shack tape recorder.
